The Young Master

Rating:
Summary: For Enthusiasts Only
Review: "Young Master" has the trademark Jackie humor, but the fighting choreography is inferior to his later work, and there are no incredible stunts. This movie is for you if you are familiar with the newer stuff and are curious how his style evolved. General fans who like Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon (like my girlfriend) will probably be asleep on your shoulder in 20 minutes. So make sure you have your coke and chips within arm's reach so you don't wake her. But us Jackie fanatics will recognize this to be a fun action flick, just a little more raw than than we'd prefer. Some quick facts you're probably wondering: -There's no outtakes at the end. The audio is Chinese -no English option. I'm not sure if that's Jackie's voice. You'll have to read the English subtitles and that might distract you from the action. There's plenty of those mini-acrobatic stunts that show off his creativity, strength, and coordination. To me, the decision to purchase vs. rent a dvd hinges on whether you plan to watch it several times. I'm glad I saw the movie, but I probably won't watch it again. I recommend you rent it.

Summary: jackie old school
Review: Awesome old school jackie chan movie every fight scene is good
and original the ending fight scene is about 20 minutes and is worth buying just for that the only complaint i have is i wish yeun biao and jackie fight scenes together would have been longer great picture quality and sound and the widescreen presentation just makes the fight scenes awesome buy this movie if you are any kindof jackie chan movie fan. And another thing is check out the fight scene where jackie fights the fat guy with a fan i heard it took over 90 takes to get the fight scene right truly jawdropping scene.

Summary: Chop Sockey Classic!
Review: Brilliant. Chan in his golden days of classic kung fu cinima. Not so many stunts, but some great fights, especially the one at the end, wich lasts about 20 minutes. A great film, well worth a buy.

Summary: A sublime mix of kung-fu and comedy
Review: Certainly one of Jackie's career highs, Young Master combines break-neck kung-fu with the comedy that has made him world famous. This film also began to show world cinema audiences what was to come; his use of fairly simple, yet painful stunts is obvious from the outset. All in all, a must see film.

Summary: A "must have" for Kung Fu fan
Review: Great traditional "lion dancing" and Martial art skill. One of the best Kung- Fu movies that I have ever seen. Lots of fun also. A fatastic "seizing skill" ( "Ching-Na" in Chinese) at the end of the movie worth every penny you paid for this movie. A "must own" movie for real Kung-Fu/Martial art fan. I recommend this movie without reservation.

Summary: The most thrilling, spectacular and entertaining movie ever
Review: I consider myself to be Jackie Chans most loyal fan. I own almost 20 of his martial arts movies, including classics from Police Story to Who am I. The Young Master is an absolutely essential purchase for anyones martial arts collection, which is guaranteed to remain a highly regarded Jackie Chan classic. The movie is set during Chans younger days in cinema and demonstrates his amazing skill in martial arts as well as his great talent in entertaining the viewer through his humorous performances. He even sings the song to the ending of the movie. The film really does show how energetic and original Jackie is, and this is the main reason why I simply admire his artistic talent. The Young Master tells the story of an orphan named Dragon (Jackie) and shows how he struggles to set his friend free from the evil clutches of Master Kam. The master uses his friend to commit a number of crimes and in the process people confuse Jackie with his friend and mistake him for the criminal. The final showdown shows Jackie confronting the Master in a well-coreographed and extremely realsitic fight scene. This is the first most important movie which catapulted Chans career for Golden Harvest Productions and established himself as a great perfomer in all aspects and not only in kung-fu. In conclusion, this is the most thrilling, spectacular and entertaining movie which I have ever seen, and from all his greatest hits this has to be the most enjoyable.
